The Digital
Freedom Campaign has one primary goal, paraphrased, don't
throw the digital revolution baby out with the bathwater as
new technologies can both empower end users and content
creators, at the same time, or restrict them and keep them
buried in frivolous and future stopping artificial
restrictions brought about by certain narrow minded
interests. They don't think that corporate or governmental
enforced luddism or hijacking of technology should take
place, and that people all over need the freedom to use
modern technology to the fullest, with everyone's rights
represented, not just one side or the other.
..."“…We draw a different line on what is acceptable in the
home. We believe consumers should not be in legal
jeopardy if they do something with lawfully acquired content
and keep it in their home,” said Shapiro. “We believe that
consumers have rights and that the copyright laws need to be
changed to reduce potential damages for companies launching
new products where the copyright law is unclear or where the
inventor does not intentionally or directly infringe
copyrights.”"....more from their CES press release there
